Neisseria meningitides Can Survive in Corpses for At Least Eleven Days [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016 Among the potential hazards of working in a mortuary and handling corpses, the risk of infectious disease acquisition is well-documented, and warrants attention. The main biological risk in this environment is due to infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, blood-borne hepatitis, and agents responsible for transmissible spongiform ...

Transition-State Structure of Neisseria meningitides 5‘-Methylthioadenosine/S-Adenosylhomocysteine Nucleosidase [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2007 5′-Methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN) is a bacterial enzyme of the N-ribosyl transferase family. It catalyzes the biologically irreversible hydrolytic deadenylaton of 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA) or S-adenosylhomocysteine to form adenine and methylthioribose (MTR) or S-ribosylhomocysteine, respectively (Figure 1).

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2014 Neisseria meningitidis is the pathogen of epidemic encephalomyelitis and is responsible for permanent damage to the brain and nervous system. In the present study, the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-6p-1/neisseria surface protein A (NspA) was constructed and the immune protective effect was investigated with the purified recombinant rNspA.

Crystal Structures of Δ1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate Reductase from Human Pathogens Neisseria meningitides and Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2005 L-proline is an amino acid that plays an important role in proteins uniquely contributing to protein folding, structure, and stability, and this amino acid serves as a sequence-recognition motif. Proline biosynthesis can occur via two pathways, one from glutamate and the other from arginine.
